Topic:
No Way
Text: Proverbs 1:22-33
No
matter how powerful the devil is, there are certain things he
cannot do without your co-operation. Satan must find an ally in
you before he can harm you, or lead you into sin. The only groups
of people who cannot be capture by the enemy are those who have
made up their minds to close all doors against the devil. If you
are holy and obedient you can relax because you are secure forever.
Nobody will harm you if you do not leave a loophole in your life.
If there is no crack in your Armour, there will be no way for
the devil to penetrate.
In
I Peter 3:13, the Bible says “And who is he that will harm
you, if ye be followers of that which is good?” Who will
harm you, if you are living holy? Proverbs 1:32-33 says, “For
the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity
of fools shall destroy them. But whosoever hearkeeth unto me shall
dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Do
you wish to dwell safely? Abide in Christ. Proverbs 12:21 says,
“There shall no evil happens to the just, but the wicked
shall be filled with mischief.” If you pretend to be holy
while you are not, you will destroy yourself. But the truth is
that no evil shall happen to the just.
Psalms
53:4-5 says: “Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge?
Who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon
God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God
hath scattered the bones or him that encampeth against thee: thou
hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.”
Those who live in sin are always afraid even when there is nothing
to fear. Truly, they have reasons to be afraid. Anybody fighting
the devil and casting out demons will have his name on the list
of the enemy. However, the enemies know that as long as you live
holy, they cannot touch you. However as soon as you slip and fall,
and your amour cracks, the demons will move into tormenting you.
Satan
cannot gain entry into your life except you grant him access.
The door you open to the devil is he only entry point he has into
your life. Unfortunately, many have thrown wide open all the doors
of their lives thereby constructing an expressway for the devil
to zoom into their lives. Watch how you open your doors - it might
be your undoing,
Memory Verse: I Peter 3:13 - “And who is he that will harm
you, if ye be followers of that which is good.”
